Re: Comes down to tough decisions

Ha. It would be nice if they just made a decision. Any decision. They haven't put a dime in the systems around here since they bought them except to add digital cable that sometimes works and delete analog channels (without lowering the monthly bill). We barely have cable TV and of course they blame the prior system operator (Centel originally, then Jones, then TCI) whom they bought the rats nest from. I guess "due diligence" isn't in their vocabulary.

We suffer through weekly outages, bad reception, cross-modulation interference due to improperly operated equipment, wildly varying channel signal levels, audio levels all over the place (I measured two adjacent channels at 16 db difference), EAS rule noncompliance, miserably out-of-spec signal-to-noise. The list goes on and on.

If they can't afford to fix it, then the decision should be to get off the pot and quit lying about their plans and abilities. Cable modem service is the least of their problems in the Chicago market.
